Twelve authors probe the mind of the Romantic era in its thinking
about music. They provide a searching examination of writings by
music theorists, critics, aestheticians, philosophers, and
commentators from 1800 to 1875. In doing so, they wield new
critical tools as well as old, casting fresh light, for example, on
familiar problems of musical form by inspecting eighteenth-century
rhetoric and nineteenth-century gendered discourse; exploring
Schubertian modulation and Wagnerian motif with the insights of
cognitive science; reinterpreting pianistic finger exercise by way
of Michel Foucault and Frankenstein and so on. The impact of Hegel
and Schelling on music theory occupies an important place, as does
Schleiermacher's hermeneutics on analysis and criticism. The
brilliant group of young historians of theory, represented here,
provides an array of approaches, from detailed music analysis,
through close reading of texts, through critical discourse, to
philosophical enquiry.
